American Graffiti


Canuck

Recommended Posts

We just got back from a 15 day road trip through the Western US and spent a night in Petaluma, CA where much of American Graffiti was filmed. I took a few photos for fun. We did see several other filming locations that we didn’t take pictures of.

This is still a used car lot. The same sign is there too.

Here’s where the police car lots its rear end. A different angle but you can see the theatre sign.

Here’s the liquor store which is now a bait and tackle shop.

This is the “ICE” machine from the movie by the liquor store. I was surprised it was still there.

I spent some time in Petaluma after getting out of the USAF, had a girlfriend from there. Nice area from what I remember, but never knew the movie was done there.
